If there wasn’t enough razzmatazz surrounding Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC Octagon in Las Vegas, he was joined on stage by superstar rapper Drake at Friday’s raucous weigh-in.

Drake is in town to perform at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, not too far from the T-Mobile Arena where McGregor takes on lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC 229.

The Canadian artist is a huge fan of “The Notorious”, having introduced him on stage at the Toronto leg of the promotional world tour for McGregor’s mega-money boxing bout against Floyd Mayweather last year.
